The modules complements other courses devoted to technical and engineering issues of risk management in industrial plants (petrochemical plants, process industry, power plants, etc.). Technical risks in the above plants can be a cause or a contributing factor in/for the business continuity and the final outcome of the technical/engineering activities is practically always to be seen on the background of business implications and implications/impacts to the business activities of a company. The insurance aspects are the most relevant practical aspect linking the engineering and business side of the company operation and asset management: therefore these will be tackled, too.

The module gives the participants opportunity to improve the knowledge about the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and to gain the skills to perform simplified LCA studies and to analyze, discuss and comment international scientific articles on LCA.
The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Costing (LCC), International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD) and European Reference Life Cycle Data System (ELCD). The focus will be on practical examples of applying LCA in industry and improving the environmental performance and sustainability of products and services.

Objectives

3.1 Knowledge

The course will explain possible contribution of technical risks in the industrial plants in/for the business continuity. The insurance aspects are the most relevant practical aspect linking the engineering and business side of the company operation and asset management: therefore these will be tackled, too

The course will highlight the details of

LCA methodology and application

the techniques and the tools needed for the LCA analysis

standards ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 and international development.

During the course many examples will be elaborated, including the ones related to the emerging risks and, furthermore, participants will develop their own examples using standard LCA software.In the end of the course the students are expected to:

have basic knowledge about LCA methodology and application

know the link between LCA and HSE

be familiar with the most important concepts and terminology used in LCA

have skill to perform simplified LCA using some of most commonly used software tools.

3.2. Skills

Use of tool for LCA and risk management.

3.3. Competences

Competences needed to work in industry on LCA analysis and in insurance on risk management will be acquired by the participants.
